7 oscillators & electric guitar : Christophe Guiraud 

With 7 oscillators, modeled like voices (the partials of the voices), the first half of this piece unfolds like a plain song chorale, impregnated with certain Bach kind of chords, torn apart by the timbre and the varied feedbacks of Nagra tape-machine. In the second half, the oscillators return to an inharmonic strings position, where the attacks and durations correspond, by triggers, to the various random glissandi commands (curves) based on the magic square system. A sort of scrambled and ecstatic pop emerges from the surface.

This piece is part of the 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐚 cycle (𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑏𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑢𝑔𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑟𝑦, 𝑐𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑥, 𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑡-𝑑𝑒-𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑑)

Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed 
between 2014 and 2023. 
Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed 
in three pieces for ensemble and electronics, 
three independent volumes. 

This cycle was initiated in 2014 with the 
commission of the first Vol (Vol I) by 
Brussels based Ictus ensemble, for a show 
focusing on the Ars subtilior. 

On a late afternoon in March (2022), 
accompanied by loved ones, we went to Ostia, 
to the place of the tragic end, the one 
that says everything, without saying anything, 
at the place where today stands a 
kind of stele/tombeau in memory of the 
immense visionary poet.  

As a result, Vol II and III were composed between 
September 2022 and March 2023, and premiered 
on May 2025.
These two volumes were written for an identical 
formation to the first one : 7 or 8 musicians 
and electronics.

TOMBEAU de PASOLINI Vol III - PREMIERE - Nemø ensemble & Kevin Hendrickx (May 2025)

A composer and sound artist, Christophe Guiraud is dedicated to the realms of contemporary music and sound art. His primary goal is to delve into the crossroads of electronic, generative, and written music.

Ars Subtilior and Noise music serve as the dual muses for Christophe Guiraud, akin to two rivers seamlessly woven into a composition of profound strength. The French composer acts as a bridge, connecting the pinnacle of scholarly music with the avant-garde aspects of noise. 

Born in Toulouse in the mid-seventies, he later establishes himself in Brussels, transforming it into the nexus of his continuous creative journey. Presently, he is actively engaged and has collaborated for several years with a multitude of European ensembles and musicians, including Ensemble 21, Ictus Ensemble, PHØNIX16 collective, Tom Pauwels, Arçon de Nièze, Benjamin Glorieux, Nemø ensemble, among others.

His latest compositions delicately blend instrumental timbre and sound hybridization, shrouding this alchemy in a certain secrecy. Here, more than anywhere else, Christophe Guiraud's recent works initiate a dialogue across eras, traversing from the polyphony of Ars Nova to Spectralism, all the while incorporating his noise heritage. Firmly unbound by historical constraints, the concluding pieces presented here unfold in a quivering stasis. The ensemble of these pieces brings coherence across a diverse array of musicians hailing from various places, traditions, and ensembles—everything intricately interwoven towards a particularly striking culmination.
